NEW YORK, Nov 9-The vote in thi
city was very large and the interest intens
from the opening to the closing of the polls
As soon as returns began to como In tn,
newspaper offices and other places where bull
letins were displayed were the collecting
points Of large crowds of people who watched
the figures and cheered as they were satisfac
tory. The returns were very much one way,
however, and there was little com
fort in them for the Republicans
The figures for Grant in the city were gener
ally about half what they were for Cook
while the Henry George vote showed a large
falling off. A feature of tho returns from
the state outside of New York and Kings
county was the falling Off in the vote for
Grant from that cast for Davenport in 1876
There was a falling off also in the vote fol-
Cook from that for Hill, but not so great as
in Grants case
The Republicans before midnight conceded
the election of Morgan j. O'Brien and Abra-
ham r. Lawrence Dems.) for supreme court
judges, defeating Rollins aud Rowland; also
McGown and Piishke (Dems) for city court
judges, defeating Hall and Lexow. MARITIME,
Democrat, is elected for Judge of general ses-
sions court; Ransom, Democrat, for surro-
gate; Myers, Democrat, for city controller;
Forster, Democrat, for president of board of
aldermen; MESSENGER, Democrat, for coroner.
About midnight the entire city vote on
secretary of state was completed, and stood
as follows:
Cook, ll3, 654; Grant, IS, ga; George, 35,-
0S3. Hall, 5,lS9; total, 2l3, 400; Cooks plu-
rality, $500
Brooklyn complete gives Grant AZ, 929;
Cook, $3.50; George 1889; Hunt
ington (Prohibition), 2,l9l The DEM
ocrats elect mayor, all three justices
the peace, all Of the seven aldermen at-large,
eight aldermen against four Republican al
dermen; the supervisor-at-large, and three
supervisors against ten Republican super
visors, and one justice OF sessions against ono
Republican. Rhinehart Rep.) beats Furey
DENY for sheriff.
New York and Kings county complete
and 94S election districts in tho state outside
of those counties give Cook, 324, 533; Grant,
2S3, TIA; Huntington, 10, 294 George, SO, 3l3.
The same precincts in 1855 gave Hill 345, 1913;
Davenport, 3l2, 1888; Bascom, 1891 This
appears to indicate that of the Henry George
vote and the increase in the Prohibition vote
about 40, 900 has been drawn from the Repub-
lican, aud 20, 900 from the Democratic party.
--LATEST. Returns from New York state
indicate the election Of the Democratic state
ticket by plurality of 20, 600 or thereabouts
In 1885 Mr.. Cook, the candidate then and
this year for secretary, had plurality Of
l46OS. The Third Party Prohibitionists
would seem to have made decided gains. Last
year they give their nominee for the appeals
bench GAIA votes. This year their vote may
reach 5000. The Labor vote for tho entire
state is estimated at 10000, of which q, 900
was polled outside of New York and Kings
county. The total general vote will doubt
less show falling Off from last year, al
though in somc localities there has been a de-
cided increase.
One thousand election districts outside of
New York and Kings counties give Grant,
1888. Isl; Cook, l63,s2l; Huntington, 1904;
George, ., s33 With the above figures Grant
runs about 900 votes behind Davenport in
1885, and Cook about 9, 900 behind Hill.
The senate and assembly remain Repub-
lican. The present senate stands as follows:
20; Democrats, IL. The next
senate, according to our present figures,
which are not complete, will stand as fol-
lows: Republicans, 10; Democrats, Is. The
present assembly stands: Republicans, "a;
Democrats, "a The indications are that
this majority of 20will be somewhat reduced.
